Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Panel Design Engineer

Quick Facts

Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Panel Design Engineer

Description

Design, develop, and launch next-generation display technologies for Apple products by architecting complete TFT pixel and panel designs. Own work spanning display panel modeling, simulation, integrated circuit-on-panel design, panel architecture, and whole-panel functional simulation. Strengthen the team’s simulation approach with higher-fidelity models, automation around simulation and measurement data analysis, and AI-assisted workflows to shorten design iteration.

Role Description / Responsibilities

• TFT panel architecture scoping and definition
• TFT device design, modeling, simulation, and characteristics measurement
• Pixel and panel design, layout, and parasitic parameter extraction
• Pixel and panel modeling, characterization, and validation
• On-panel integrated circuit design, simulation, and validation on rigid and flexible substrates
• Develop and maintain design automation for panel simulation, characterization, and measurement data analysis
• Establish simulation methodology and best practices for the panel design team
• Failure mode analysis, root cause investigation, and problem solving
• Explore and validate new TFT technologies
• International business travel to support project implementation
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (TFT process, Display Optics, Touch EE, Display EE, Mechanical Engineering, Display touch)
• Collaborate with external vendors for display manufacturing

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree
• Hands-on experience creating 2D physical layout in a CAD environment such as Cadence Virtuoso or Synopsys Laker, including design rule verification and parasitic RC extraction
• Hands-on experience performing circuit simulation with a SPICE-class simulator such as Spectre or HSPICE, including device model setup and interpretation of simulation results
• Understanding of the basics of TFT, OLED, and panel processes
